Photo: John Nyaga/IRINWell-trained health workers can improve health-seeking behaviourBONDO, 4 October 2010 (PlusNews) - Kenyan health workers have beenmissing the opportunity to prevent HIV-positive people from infectingothers because they lack the skills and knowledge to counsel thispopulation, say specialists.

"Health workers have certain misconceptions about people living withHIV... many don't have the training in how to provide messages tothose already infected," said Ann Okoth, the district public healthnurse in western Kenya's Bondo district. "So people who are positivecome [to health centres] and the opportunity to give information tothem is lost.

"Training and counselling for health workers dealing with HIV-positivepeople is very important in improving people's health-seekingbehaviour and in turn for the success of prevention with positivesprogrammes."

According to a 2008 report by the Centre for Reproductive Rights andthe Federation of Women Lawyers of Kenya, negative healthcareexperiences can discourage HIV-positive women from seeking medicalcare.

Among other violations, the report noted that women living with HIVwere frequently turned away from public health facilities or secludedin an area of the hospital away from other patients; reprimanded forbearing children or being sexually active, and denied access tocontraception, family planning and maternity services.

Training

National guidelines for promoting prevention among people living withHIV were released in May and the government is now partnering withJHPIEGO, an NGO affiliated to Johns Hopkins University, to trainhealth workers across the country to deliver messages about preventionto their HIV-positive patients.

"For instance, when you test a mother who has come to the clinic forantenatal care, the priority would be to have her bring her partnerfor testing also and to help them in disclosure and to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV," explained Tom Marwa, HIV/AIDS technicalofficer for JHPIEGO.

Read more HIV-positive people ignored in prevention campaigns Positive people on ARVs not sexually infectious, say experts Pregnant, HIV-positive and falling through the PMTCT cracksSo far 1,940 health workers - nurses, clinical officers, counsellorsand nutritionists - have been trained in counselling as well as how toprevent unintended pregnancies, and how to screen for and treatsexually transmitted infections.

A 2004 study showed that in Kenya, disclosing HIV status to partnerswas associated with a four-fold increase in reported condom use, butaccording to JHPIEGO, before the training, 69 percent of HIV serviceproviders in Kenya did not advise their HIV-positive clients todisclose their status, while 32 percent did not discuss HIV preventionwith them. Afterwards, 80 percent of health facilities visited wereoffering prevention with positives messages.

Couples' counselling

Leonida Ojuok is one of the patients at the Bondo District Hospitalwho has benefited from the training. When she tested positive during aroutine antenatal visit, she was terrified of telling her husband.Women are often divorced and thrown out of their marital homes after apositive HIV diagno sis.

"I told the nurse that I was not going to tell my husband because hewould kill me... but she just told me to tell him to come for the nextvisit," she told IRIN/PlusNews. "When we came together, she talked tous and tested us.

"Then she told my husband - I was HIV-positive but my husband wasn't.I am happy the nurse convinced him to support me... even today we havecome to the clinic together."

Identifying HIV-positive people

"The focus should not only be on those whose statuses are alreadyknown and on ART [life-prolonging antiretroviral therapy] programmesor some kind of support," Marwa said. "The 'healthy positives' are outthere spreading the virus without knowing it."

I told the nurse that I was not going to tell my husband [my HIV-positive status] because he would kill meAccording to the results of a 2010 systematic review of behaviouralinterventions targeting HIV-positive individuals in developingcountries, they were useful not only in providing HIV preventionmessages but in identifying HIV-positive individuals.

According to government statistics, an estimated 83 percent of HIV-infected people do not know their status.

The authors of the review noted that because many HIV-positiveindividuals had limited contact with health centres, it would beimportant to move interventions beyond clinic settings and into thecommunity.

I haven't seen the game yet, but I actually felt that way (breathing easy), the 2nd halfof the Pats game. It was weird, knowing the Pats offense & Jets history, but I neverthought the Pats would win, in the 2nd half. And I was sober, to boot ;)

H, when one of my few complaints was Slausson running into LT when hewas supposed to have pulled & delivered a block, well, you know it waseasy. He did cost us a TD on that play.

It shoudl have been 20-0 at halftime. You always take the points.Maybe you throw it with 3rd & 6 but LT averaged 7 yards a carryyesterday. Maybe you don't pass it 3 & goal from the 1 but you takethe points.

MZ, if we are talking about the same series I didn't like the throw inthe end zone (2Q) but if you saw on one down Slausson knocked LT overbecause Slauson can't move. So if they score a TD because the playersexecute then it is a good drive?

As for running on 3rd & long, well, I think the team philosophy is notto make a mistake. If you run on 3rd & long doesn't that occasionallyopen up when you do pass? I don't want to see it every time but ithas its place especially with LT.

I wasn't a big fan of using the wildcat down at the gola line.Yeah... I know it worked, but we would be screaming our heads off andstomping Schott to the ground if it didn't work and put the game injeaopardy,

look, I'm not defending the move and still would like to know the*real* reason they cut Faneca loose, but the Cardinals gave up 9 sacksyesterday and rushed for less than 50 yards against the Chargers.Slauson gave up no sacks for the second straight game and committed nopenalties. This is his fourth career start. I still think we vastlyoverrate Faneca. But I admit, Tanny saved no money by cutting him andthe team is pretty thin on the oline.

Rex saw LT for what he has left. Someone saw something in McKnight soI will shut up about Washington. He picked the right older back somaybe we should trust him on McKnight. btw he looks to have addedsome size. McKnight not Rex.

leon has 12 carries for 30 yards. Maybe Schott is a genius as Leondid much better in NY.

i saw mcnight play in a few games. i thought he looked promising.what i was wondering is why carol did nothing to bring him along toseattle. my feeling was this... since mcnight displayed some proquality talent, perhaps there was a work ethic or attitude issue thatcarol saw as a coach that rex/tanny could not see from further away.and... may be :-) rex is a better coach than carol is with guys likethat and he will coach mcnight up in spite of himself.

He is very similar to Leon in many ways. One of the biggest HSrecruits in the country that did OK in college. Their numbers arealmost identical with McKnight's slightly better. McKn can run as heshowed in some of his returns in pre-season. Will he work hardenough?

As for Carroll, my guess is you hit the nail on the head. Let's hopeRex can play Emma Lazarus & take some of these strays in & make itwork.

i called mcnight "a serious piece of manpower" when he was draftedbased on what i saw him do at usc. i hope rex and co can get him toproduce or you can add mcnight to the list of guys i was wrongabout... current guy is bradford. i thought it would take him a whileto get up to speed and clausen would out-do him early on :-)

i'm still sticking with slauson, though... he had a nice gameyesterday and helped open up a few king sized holes.

I don't think we need a third RB really, I think we need what yousaid, a bigger work load for greene. IMO 3 back tandems just prevent 2of the guys from having more of a feel for the game. We also run BradSmith from time to time out of the wildcat (btw, I hate that name,it's an option play) I looked it up and LTII as in on twice as manysnaps as Greene. I know it's hard to not go to LTII when he gets offto these fast starts but maybe some patience with Greene is all youneed to have. the guy does rip some big runs.

It was evidently successful. I saw where he took most of Ellis' snapsand didn't make one tackle.

In Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger can talk to his teammates about football again. Texanslinebacker Brian Cushing can participate in his first regular season practice onWednesday. Jets wideout Santonio Holmes is feeling the love from Jets fans upon hisreturn.

Not feeling the love in New York: wide receivers Patrick Turner and David Clowney, whowere released by the team on Monday to help make room for Holmes. The Jets will alsore-sign defensive end Howard Green.

The Jets finished their early round robin in the AFC East with three wins, including twoon the road. They've taken early control of the division despite all the missed gamesfrom Darrelle Revis, Calvin Pace, and Santonio Holmes.

I don't think so. They were planning to sign him today, even before Ellis' injury.We should know about him today, but all the early reports were that it's a mild kneesprain. They need some bods on the DL, so I suspect Green will be comin' & goin' a lotthis season, depending upon the opponent, & our specific needs for that opponent.The Revis injury still concerns me. I'd give him, at least, one more game off, especiallywith the Vikings next. I haven't seen them, but they don't seem to be very strong at WR.They'll need Revis more against the Broncs... then it's the Bye.

I don't think they'll need him against the Broncos either. They should let him sit right through the bye, and then bring him back so he's ready for the divisional games.

I really don't pay much attention outside the division anymore. Aren't the Broncs airingit out? And isn't Orton playing well?As an aside, it's looking like the Broncs made out better than expected, when they tradedCutler.

Yup, very true... of course, that's not the case of those that inhabit this NG ;)I looked for Lisa before we left, but she must've been hiding.Your granddaughter was so cute on stage, up there with Lisa.

"When Harry Met Sally" is a movie classic, and its infamous fakedorgasm scene still resonates with couples.

Now, an Indiana University survey published today has put someconfirming data on the faked orgasm phenomenon. According to thesurvey's researchers, 85 percent of men said their partners climaxedduring the most recent sex act, while 64 percent of women reportedthey actually did.

"There's this massive gap between men's perception and women'sreality," says Debby Herbenick, co-author of the research andassociate director at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at theuniversity. "It shows a lack of communication between partners, eitherby women faking it, or by men not asking or noticing if their partner[climaxed]."

The survey, which drew on data from nearly 6,000 participants betweenthe ages of 14 and 94, covered a wide range of sexual behaviors,sexual health practices and sexual perceptions, and according to thecenter, it was the largest nationally representative survey on sexualhealth ever performed.

It's worth noting, however, that the survey was sponsored by themakers of Trojan condoms, which had some influence over the design ofquestions, particularly those covering condom use.

One of the frustrating thingsin sexual research up to this point is that the best data is from theearly 1990s, and a lot has obviously changed since then," saysHerbenick.

The new research offers a glimpse of what's going on between thesheets for Americans today and provides not only a wide range ofinformation on sexual behavior but also how these behaviors shift overtime.

As for the perceptual gap regarding female orgasm, this findingconfirms past research on the subject, as well as culturalperceptions, says sex expert Pepper Schwartz.

"I think its a combination of people being too embarrassed to work outan issue or too careful about shaking up the system by giving accuratefeedback. Men take a lot of pride in 'giving' a woman an orgasm ... soin the beginning, faking it could be about encouragement."

The Wide World of Getting It OnTeens are doing it, octogenarians are doing it, and if this nationalsurvey shows anything, it's that everyone's getting it on in one wayor another. Some of the most striking findings among the IndianaUniversity team had to do with the prevalence of certain sexualbehaviors that had not been as frequently revealed in previous data.For instance, in the new survey, it was found that men performed oralsex almost as frequently as they received it, says Michael Reece, co-author of the study and faculty member at the Kinsey Institute.

"It hasn't really been part of our cultural script for a while, thisidea that men are giving oral sex close to the amount that theyreceive it, but it looks like that's really changing," he says.
